Electrical hazard awareness
www.dmp.wa.gov.au/ResourcesSafety
What does hazard mean?
Hazard means:
• any potential or actual threat to the wellbeing of people,
machinery or environment
Electrical hazard safety means:
• taking precautions to identify and control electrical hazards
www.dmp.wa.gov.au/ResourcesSafety
Why know about it?
Because failing to take the necessary precautions can lead to:
• injury or death
• fire or property damage
www.dmp.wa.gov.au/ResourcesSafety
What are the safety priorities?
Electrical hazards include:
• making contact with overhead wires
• undertaking maintenance on live equipment
• working with damaged electrical equipment, such as extension leads,
plugs and sockets
• Old frayed wiring may heat up and melt the insulation causing a short-
circuit and a fire.
• Long coiled up extension cables may heat up.
• Water in sockets and plugs may cause a short circuit or electric shock
because water is a poor conductor of electricity.
• Accidentally cutting cables may cause electrocution.
• Electrocution may cause brain damage, cardiac arrest and burns.
www.dmp.wa.gov.au/ResourcesSafety
How do you respond to electrical incidents?
If you come across a person receiving an electric shock:
• if possible, disconnect the electrical supply (switch?)
• assess the situation – never put yourself at risk
• take precautions to protect yourself and anyone else in the
vicinity
• apply the first aid principles (e.g. DRSABCD)
• assess the injuries and move the casualty to a safe area if
required
• administer first aid if trained
• seek urgent medical attention
www.dmp.wa.gov.au/ResourcesSafety
Do you want to be a victim?
You could be the victim if you:
• don’t follow proper procedures around electricity
• use electrical equipment improperly
• use faulty electrical equipment
www.dmp.wa.gov.au/ResourcesSafety
What are the types of injuries?
• Burns
• Shocks
• Falls
KEEP SAFE
KNOW HOW TO CONTROL ELECTRICAL HAZARDS
www.dmp.wa.gov.au/ResourcesSafety
What are the levels of effect of current?
AC current (mA) Effect on human body
1 Slight tingling sensation
2-9 Small shock
10-24 Muscles contract causing you to freeze
25-74 Respiratory muscles can become
paralysed; pain; exit burns often visible
75-300 Usually fatal; ventricular fibrillation; entry &
exit wounds visible
>300 Death almost certain; if survive will have
badly burnt organs and probably require
amputations
www.dmp.wa.gov.au/ResourcesSafety
GROUP DISCUSSION
• What measures ought to be put in place
to keep safe from electricity?
www.dmp.wa.gov.au/ResourcesSafety
Can you protect yourself from electricity?
• Don’t wear metal objects
• Turn power off
• Wear appropriate clothing
• Don’t touch live parts
• Don’t install or repair electrical equipment
• Use qualified personnel
• Clean and dry leads and plugs before use
www.dmp.wa.gov.au/ResourcesSafety
What are other safety measures?
• Heed warning signs
• Use the right equipment
• Study the operation manual
• Take care of extension leads
• Use only approved extension lamps
• Don’t pull on leads
• Use residual current devices – RCDs
• Use the proper fuses and circuit breakers
www.dmp.wa.gov.au/ResourcesSafety
Regular safety inspections
are a part of YOUR job...
• Electrical equipment should be checked each time
before use for defects
• If not tagged or the tag is out of date then report it and
place it out of service
www.dmp.wa.gov.au/ResourcesSafety
Should you be aware of powerlines?
• Do you know if there are overhead powerlines on your site?
• Do you know where they are located?
• Do you know what the safe work clearance is?
• Strict regulations are laid down to cover any work that may have
to be performed close to overhead powerlines
www.dmp.wa.gov.au/ResourcesSafety
What risk assessment?!
www.dmp.wa.gov.au/ResourcesSafety
Is this a problem?
www.dmp.wa.gov.au/ResourcesSafety
The key messages are…
• The risk of electric shock from correctly installed and maintained
power sources is negligible, provided that sensible precautions
are taken by the operator and correct work procedures are
followed
• Ensure that the right person is carrying out electrical work –
licensed versus competent
• Electricity is essential but, improperly used, it can be DEADLY!
To STAY ALIVE, you have to STAY ALERT

4.4 form 4 dangers of electricity

  • 2. www.dmp.wa.gov.au/ResourcesSafety What does hazard mean? Hazard means: • any potential or actual threat to the wellbeing of people, machinery or environment Electrical hazard safety means: • taking precautions to identify and control electrical hazards
  • 3. www.dmp.wa.gov.au/ResourcesSafety Why know about it? Because failing to take the necessary precautions can lead to: • injury or death • fire or property damage
  • 4. www.dmp.wa.gov.au/ResourcesSafety What are the safety priorities? Electrical hazards include: • making contact with overhead wires • undertaking maintenance on live equipment • working with damaged electrical equipment, such as extension leads, plugs and sockets • Old frayed wiring may heat up and melt the insulation causing a short- circuit and a fire. • Long coiled up extension cables may heat up. • Water in sockets and plugs may cause a short circuit or electric shock because water is a poor conductor of electricity. • Accidentally cutting cables may cause electrocution. • Electrocution may cause brain damage, cardiac arrest and burns.
  • 5. www.dmp.wa.gov.au/ResourcesSafety How do you respond to electrical incidents? If you come across a person receiving an electric shock: • if possible, disconnect the electrical supply (switch?) • assess the situation – never put yourself at risk • take precautions to protect yourself and anyone else in the vicinity • apply the first aid principles (e.g. DRSABCD) • assess the injuries and move the casualty to a safe area if required • administer first aid if trained • seek urgent medical attention
  • 6. www.dmp.wa.gov.au/ResourcesSafety Do you want to be a victim? You could be the victim if you: • don’t follow proper procedures around electricity • use electrical equipment improperly • use faulty electrical equipment
  • 7. www.dmp.wa.gov.au/ResourcesSafety What are the types of injuries? • Burns • Shocks • Falls KEEP SAFE KNOW HOW TO CONTROL ELECTRICAL HAZARDS
  • 8. www.dmp.wa.gov.au/ResourcesSafety What are the levels of effect of current? AC current (mA) Effect on human body 1 Slight tingling sensation 2-9 Small shock 10-24 Muscles contract causing you to freeze 25-74 Respiratory muscles can become paralysed; pain; exit burns often visible 75-300 Usually fatal; ventricular fibrillation; entry & exit wounds visible >300 Death almost certain; if survive will have badly burnt organs and probably require amputations
  • 9. www.dmp.wa.gov.au/ResourcesSafety GROUP DISCUSSION • What measures ought to be put in place to keep safe from electricity?
  • 10. www.dmp.wa.gov.au/ResourcesSafety Can you protect yourself from electricity? • Don’t wear metal objects • Turn power off • Wear appropriate clothing • Don’t touch live parts • Don’t install or repair electrical equipment • Use qualified personnel • Clean and dry leads and plugs before use
  • 11. www.dmp.wa.gov.au/ResourcesSafety What are other safety measures? • Heed warning signs • Use the right equipment • Study the operation manual • Take care of extension leads • Use only approved extension lamps • Don’t pull on leads • Use residual current devices – RCDs • Use the proper fuses and circuit breakers
  • 12. www.dmp.wa.gov.au/ResourcesSafety Regular safety inspections are a part of YOUR job... • Electrical equipment should be checked each time before use for defects • If not tagged or the tag is out of date then report it and place it out of service
  • 13. www.dmp.wa.gov.au/ResourcesSafety Should you be aware of powerlines? • Do you know if there are overhead powerlines on your site? • Do you know where they are located? • Do you know what the safe work clearance is? • Strict regulations are laid down to cover any work that may have to be performed close to overhead powerlines
  • 16. www.dmp.wa.gov.au/ResourcesSafety The key messages are… • The risk of electric shock from correctly installed and maintained power sources is negligible, provided that sensible precautions are taken by the operator and correct work procedures are followed • Ensure that the right person is carrying out electrical work – licensed versus competent • Electricity is essential but, improperly used, it can be DEADLY! To STAY ALIVE, you have to STAY ALERT

Editor's Notes

  1. D - Danger R - Response S – Send for help A - Airway B - Breathing C - CPR D - Defibrillation
  2. This absolute shocker is a shocker in the literal sense. If you look carefully, you will notice that the power lead plug-top is not designed and intended for use within an Australian socket outlet. This should have warned the user that the appliance may not have been designed for use within the Australian 240 Volt system, but rather the 110 Volt system in so many other countries. But it seems that some people just wont take the hint. What we see here is a dangerously novel variation on the age-old stupidity of trying to force a square peg into a round hole. If it won’t fit – don’t use it!
